A Brief History of Information

(us) James Gleick

308K02

Human beings have a long history of encountering information. This history written by James Gleick unexpectedly begins with the African drum language. Before they made the leap directly to mobile phones, indigenous African tribes used drums to convey messages, but how did they do it? Subsequent chapters go on to recount several far-reaching key events in this history, including the invention of writing, Robert Cowdery's first English dictionary, Charles Babbage's difference engine and Ada Byron's program, the Sharpe brothers' signal tower and Morse code. But humans began to consciously understand and utilize information starting from the information theory founded by Claude Shannon in 1948. Shannon's information theory not only promoted the development of information technology, but also triggered the information turn in many disciplines, changing people's understanding of things such as Maxwell's demon, the coding of life, memes, randomness, quantum information theory, etc. Some scientists even believe that the basis of the world is not matter or energy, but information. As physicist John Wheeler said, "Everything starts with bits." Nowadays, information floods us like a torrent, causing us to suffer from information anxiety, information overload, and information fatigue. But looking back at history, this is nothing new, and people have always figured out ways to deal with it. Wikipedia and Google are one of our responses. Whatever your stance on the future of information, one thing is certain: we humans are the creatures of information.

There are many historical monographs on the modern women's movement at home and abroad, many of which are just compilations of essays and not true historical works written chronologically.

Moreover, the women's movement included peasant issues, such as women's issues in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Boxer Rebellion, as well as female workers' issues among workers, rather than women's rights issues. Therefore, the content of the history of women's rights discussed in these works on the history of the women's movement was further compressed.

Through a comprehensive investigation of the functions and powers of the Military Aircraft Department, the book draws conclusions: (1) The Military Aircraft Department expanded its functions and powers from the original secret office of northwest military affairs to all confidential government affairs of the Qing court by assisting the emperor in handling memorials and title books, thereby establishing the Military Aircraft Department's position in the central decision-making system. (2) Most of the powers of the Military Aircraft Department are inherited from the Cabinet and the Council of Ministers. The power of the Military Aircraft Department to assist the emperor in handling this chapter was inherited from the Cabinet of Great Scholars, and the power of the Military Aircraft Minister to participate in the confidential government affairs of the Qing court was inherited from the Council of Imperial Ministers.

This was especially obvious in the late Qing Dynasty. This book's comprehensive study of the functions and powers of the Military Aircraft Department not only advances the academic community's understanding of the Military Aircraft Department itself, but is also of great significance to understanding the political activities of the Qing Dynasty.

The Palace, the Imperial Court and the Frontier: a Study of Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty from the Perspective of Social History

Qi Chang

160K0

Based on the overall study of the eunuch group in the Ming Dynasty, this book conducts case analysis of typical eunuchs. By comparing folk field historical materials such as eunuch epitaphs and inscriptions with official and private texts in the Ming Dynasty, we shift our focus from the political conspiracies of individual eunuchs to the personal life histories of ordinary eunuchs. We can find that the image of eunuchs we construct using social historical materials as clues is very different from previous understandings. Through the cases of eunuchs such as the Liu brothers, the Qian brothers, Gao Feng, Mai Fu, and Chen Ju, this paper examines the deeds of ethnic minority eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty and their role in the national frontier strategy in the early Ming Dynasty, the family profile of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the political situation and ecology of the eunuchs in the Jiajing Dynasty, and the complex relationship between eunuchs and the so-called Qing Dynasty courtiers, thereby reflecting on the past simple divisions of the so-called "Donglin" and "eunuch party" in the late Ming Dynasty. Eunuchs entered the political arena of the Ming Empire in a different way than courtiers. They played an important role in the Ming Dynasty's inner court, the government and the public, and even the frontiers, and were responsible for the rise and prominence of their entire family. However, precisely because of their status as eunuchs, the families who started their careers had their families' historical memories intentionally or unintentionally erased.
